Getting to Venice by train
The best way to reach Venice is by train because you arrive closer to the city centre.
Santa Lucia is Venice's only railway station, located near Piazzale Roma, the bus terminal.
The railway station Santa Lucia is connected to the rest of Italy with Eurostar trains, Intercities and Interregional and local trains.
Inside the station there are trolleys for your luggage which can be taken up to the waterbus stop by using the side exit of the station, thus avoiding the steps outside the main exit.
You can leave your luggages at the left luggage office (near platform 14), open daily from 6am to midnight. If you need help transporting your luggage in Venice, you can phone the Cooperativa Trasbagagli (phone +390415203070). Once you are out of the train station, you can decide to begin your city tour on foot or by waterbus.

The best way to see the city, feel the atmosphere and discover the hidden corners is on foot. If, on the other hand, you want to see the palaces on the Grand Canal and are strapped for time, it is best to take a boat. The public boat service, run by the Actv, stops at all the main points of interest in the city and outlying islands.
If you arrive in Venice by plane you can easily reach the historic centre with one of the many public transport services connecting Venice with its main airport, Marco Polo or with the Ryanair airport Canova - San Giuseppe.
It's better if you decide not to arrive to Venice by car but if you really want to - or maybe you ought to! - you must leave your car in one of the car parks near Venice, Piazzale Roma (the bus terminal) or Tronchetto and then you can continue by foot or by boat...
If you are among those lucky tourists arriving in Venice by ship, from the port you can easily reach the very heart of Venice, Saint Mark's square, using the private waterbuses of Alilaguna or the public tranport ACTV.
